Legal scholars have pushed back hard on the argument that Harris is ineligible under the 14th Amendment, calling it ‘baseless’ and ‘truly silly.’
At a White House press briefing on Thursday, President Trump questioned the eligibility of Sen. Kamala Harris to be vice president, praising the author of a column that respected legal scholars say erroneously questioned her qualifications despite the fact that she was born in Oakland, California, and is, in fact, eligible. Legal scholars have roundly dismissed Eastman’s argument.
